Nib & Ink. Matthew Morse has been knocking it out of the park lately with some excellent reviews of new Kickstarter projects, both promising and ... well, not so much. Check out his reviews of the Slice Planner, a daily planner based on a Chronodex-like system, and the Grafton Pen, which is set to become the best Kickstarter punching-bag since the infamous Visionnaire.

Sparetime Today. Check out Fred's site for some great Inktober drawings. I've enjoyed having this blog in my feed, especially this month.

Baron Fig Archer Pencil (via Woodclinched). Baron Fig released the latest product in their lineup on Monday, and it's excellent. I've not had time to do a full review yet, but Andy Welfle over at Woodclinched did, and it's well worth the read.

TiScribe-HL Highlighter Review (via MyPenNeedsInk). You don't see anyone making refillable highlighter/document markers, and it could be a missed opportunity for some segments of the market that burn through a lot of highlighters (like me). The TiScribe-HL is a Kickstarter project build around the Montblanc document marker refill. Bob, as always, does a great review.

Sailor Jentle Kin-Mokusei (via The Pen Addict). Susan Pigott over at the Pen Addict reviews the new orange ink in the Sailor Jentle line. It looks different from the old Apricot to me, though it's been billed by many as an "Apricot clone." Looks like I'll have to pick up a bottle and do my own experiments!

Please Visit My Sponsors!

Please take a moment to visit my sponsors, who help keep this blog going! It's next to impossible to keep up a steady stream of fresh review content without some form of blog sponsorship. I'm grateful to everyone who's helped me out along the way.

Papernery. Papernery offers a curated selection of pens, pencils, and paper (including Field Notes singles!). Gary also runs the blog Notegeist, which you all should visit.

Dudek Modern Goods. If you haven't already, you should head on over to Dudek Modern Goods and check out Mike's handmade wooden pen holders and pen rests.

Deals and Drops

This will probably be the last week that I include Deals and Drops in my Sunday Reading post. Since this Sunday post is getting a bit long, going forward I will probably incorporate Deals and Drops into a separate weekly post highlighting some combination of weekly sales, giveaways and good deals. This new post probably will go out on Friday.

Pilot G2 Limited (via Amazon). If you want an understated pen that uses the Pilot G2 refill and is a step up from a disposable, DO NOT waste $20+ on a Grafton. Spend less than $10 and get what has become one of my favorite daily writers in the G2 universe.

Subscribe to Digital Divide on the Sidebar.

Volume 8 offers my thoughts on notes, notetaking, and why I keep all of my old notebooks. "Digital Divide" is my monthly newsletter devoted to discussing the division between the "digital" and "analog" parts of our lives, the benefits of making time for analog tools and workflows, and why people draw the line where they do. If The Gentleman Stationer is the "What" (as in, "what tools do I use"), Digital Divide is the "How" and the "Why." If you're not sure whether it's something you're interested in, check out some of the back catalog, including Issue No. 6 ("Burnout") and Issue No. 5 ("Cleaning House").
